Wait! What kind of camera is this?


Hasselblad or Mamyia with polaroid back.


I'm reading it wrong. I was thinking of a camera that exposed both a Polaroid and negative at the same time. Maybe something with 2 backs and an image splitter.

I guess she was switching from polaroid to film backs.

It was probably something like polaroid 665 postive/negative B&W film.
You get a positive to preview the shot and a negative that can be enlarged later.

The one where he is sitting on the street and the one where his head is framed by the buildings are pure money.

And it is nice he was published, because he is a fine writer....

the half hour or so that i've watched so far has been pretty fantastic.


Is it available online? I'm not equipped with TV right now.
